Thank You… … …

for purchasing this Emerson AM/FM Radio/Flashlight with a built-in wind-up dynamo

system that provides power when normal batteries are not available. This unique

model is designed to operate on two normal “AA” batteries (not included). But it is

also supplied with a compact Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery

pack inside the battery compartment. If the normal “AA” batteries are exhausted

and replacement batteries are not immediately available, you can power the radio

by winding the dynamo handle to charge the NiMH battery pack. 90 seconds of

winding the dynamo handle will provide approximately 30 minutes of radio operation

at medium volume level.

If you experience a power failure due to severe weather conditions, or any other

reason, this unique Emerson model will always be ready to provide you with

news, and a compact light source, until the power is restored.

Please read this manual carefully and completely to make sure you fully understand

the features and operation of this product.

Once again, thank you for purchasing this Emerson dual-powered radio/flashlight.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Replacing The Flashlight Bulb

This radio/flashlight is supplied with a replacement bulb assembly that was included

in the packaging.

Remove the bulb assembly from the packaging and store it in a safe place for

future use. If the flashlight no longer works, but the radio is working and the

batteries are good, the bulb has probably burned out and needs to be replaced.

To replace the bulb assembly, rotate

the bulb cover ‘counter-clockwise’ to

remove it, then tilt the radio and the

bulb assembly will slide out of the

cabinet.

Insert the new bulb assembly in the

cabinet, replace the bulb cover and rotate

it ‘clockwise’ to tighten.

(+ and - ) marked inside.

3.) Replace the cover.

4.) Set DYNAMO/BATTERY selector switch to BATT.

Notes:

• When the radio does not operate properly or the sound becomes weak, replace

Using the Rechargable NiMH battery pack

Your radio has a built-in power generator which can charge the internal

rechargeable battery pack and let you play your radio without the “AA” batteries.

When you rotate the crank for as little as one and half minutes, the generator

recharges the 2.4V battery pack which powers the radio for about 30 minutes.

Follow these steps to power your radio using generator and the rechargeable

battery pack.

1.) Remove the battery compartment cover.

2.) The supplied 2.4V rechargeable battery is already installed in the battery

compartment, but not connected.

3.) Insert the battery pack’s white plug into the socket.

Caution: The battery pack’s polarized plug fits into the socket only one way.

If the plug does not fit properly, turn it over and try again. Do not force it.

4.) Replace the compartment cover.

5.) Set VOLUME to OFF.

6.) Unfold the crank handle and extend it to its full length, then rotate it clockwise

or counterclockwise. Radio operation time depends on the number of turns

and the time per turn. For example, approximately 2 turns per second for 90

seconds will provide about 30 minutes of radio operation at a medium volume

level. You can recharge the battery pack even while the radio plays.

7.) Return the crank to the folded position.

Replacing the Rechargable NiMH battery pack

If turning the crank at about 2 turns per second for about 1 minute does not power

the radio for at least 15 minutes, replace the 2.4V rechargeable battery pack.

1.) Remove the battery compartment cover.

2.) Unplug the rechargeable battery pack connector and lift the pack out of the

compartment.

3.) Insert a new battery pack’s plug into the socket the place the battery into the

compartment.

Note:

Replacement NiCad rechargeable battery packs are available from Radio Shack.

The Radio Shack equivalent 2.4V NiCad rechargeable battery is Radio Shack

item number: CAT. # 23-290.

Caution: The supplied battery pack plug has the red wire toward the top of the

radio when inserted correctly. To ensure proper polarity, only use the supplied or

recommended replacement battery pack.

4.) Replace the compartment cover.
